The two key entrance examinations — Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) are scheduled to be held in September. Given the COVID-19 situation, candidates are demanding the postponement of the exams.
Students in large numbers are tweeting using #PostponeJEE_NEETinCovid, also mentioning the reasons why the exams should be postponed again.
Early in July, Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal announced that the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET 2020) will now be held in September. The announcement was released based on a report submitted by a panel of experts. The decision was taken after considering the prevailing situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The JEE Main entrance exam for admission to undergraduate level engineering courses will be held from September 1 to 6 and JEE Advanced will be held on September 27. NEET will now be held on September 13. These were to be held in April and May, respectively.
Here are some tweets from students:
